chore: bump version to 2.0.8 [skip ci]

CUDA sidecars are ~2GB and too slow to upload from the Windows runner.
Cloud (Deepgram) provides faster transcription anyway. Removed:

- CUDA build steps from Windows and Linux sidecar workflows
- CUDA option from the SidecarSetup download screen

Remaining sidecar variants:
- Cloud (Deepgram): ~50 MB - recommended for most users
- Local CPU: ~500 MB - for offline/privacy use

CUDA can be revisited once the managed Deepgram service is ready.
